I've only posted here once since I joined. In the Newbie Intro section. I've been wanting to post pics, etc., but I've been so busy (with work) that I haven't had much time online. And now I'm here, but only because I need to share something that has really upset me.
It's not about cats, so I apologize -- It's about 2 dogs that were just killed in my building by a neighbor.
I woke at 3ish AM to a woman screaming, then I heard a familiar sounding dog barking like crazy, and then my phone rang. I knew who it would be before I even looked at the caller ID. My upstairs neighbor called me. His dog was the one who had barked. Her name is Bella and she's a sweetheart... She barked because of what she saw: 2 tiny poodles lying on the courtyard below. Chris, my friend, explained that he had heard people on the roof, then heard the scream, then heard Bella and went to see what was up. When he saw the poodles, he pulled Bella inside quickly. She's a very sensitive dog and has befriended almost every other animal in the building, aside from a handful of my cats.
Anyway, I walked out to the courtyard and saw two pools of blood, no dogs. I was repulsed. It was obvious they had been thrown from the roof. It was no accident. I prefer to not get into the details of how I could tell -- I don't want to think about that anymore. I did call the police. I told them what I knew, showed them the courtyard, then they went upstairs and spoke with Chris. And that was it. They left. No arrests, no futher investigation. Both Chris and I saw a woman kneeling in the courtyard crying. We gave descriptions of who, potentially, is the key witness! Why did the cops seem to not care? Why did they leave so quickly? This is animal cruelty at its worse!
I'm sad, I'm sick to my stomach, I'm mad, and I don't know what more I can do that I haven't already done. I can't get back to sleep and there's a lump in my throat. Why do people do such things? I just don't understand!
I'm so sorry to tell you all this. If the mods need to delete it, I understand. I know it's terrible & off topic, but I just feel like talking, I dunno, telling someone and it's too late/early to call my friends or family. When something like this happens I have to get it off my chest or I'll go crazy. I don't know what else to do. -Mel
